Where did November go?

Happy Holidays to our dear friends and family! I had such good intentions of updating the blog before Thanksgiving and now here we are 1 day away from December. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Our family has so much to be thankful for!

Here's some pictures from the month of November. The kids are growing and changing all of the time!





Andrew and Abigail are quite the pair. Here they are eating apples after coming in from outside. Andrew of course had to strip down out in the garage because he rarely stays dry or clean when playing out in the back yard. It's so fun watching Abigail explore now that she can get anywhere she likes.



Abigail loves her hats - in fact, one of her favorite words is "hat". In the first picture, she was using Andrew's Spiderman underwear (clean ones from the laundry basket) as her hat. She was also saying "cheese" for the camera. In the second, she was playing dress up after bath time. She loves her pink puffy coat and she had one hat on her head and one in her hand!





I have to admit, I was not too thrilled when it started to snow on Friday. It felt like it hasn't been that long since we got rid of the white stuff (it was June). My feelings changed though when we took Andrew and Abigail outside to shovel and play. Abigail didn't know what direction to go...she even started doing her little "happy dance". Andrew was making snow angels and eating up whatever snow he could find. Their excitement was contagious!

Halloween Fun and Cute Abigail Moments

We had a happy Halloween on Friday night. All of the cousins met at Jeremy and Jen's for pizza and grandma's sugar cookies and then headed out for trick-or-treating. They were quite the crew with a fireman, ladybug, dragon, lion, nerd and hippie. Abigail thought she was pretty hot stuff standing at people's doors and getting candy. She wasn't going to let go off the Hershey bar for anything! Andrew also had his harvest festival at school. They had to be farm animals so Andrew borrowed Hannah's chicken costume. He had a great time playing all of the games and having some special time with his mom (without sister)!









Besides some painful moments with teeth this week and having a rotten cold, Abigail has provided some pretty cute moments. She loves to climb and sit in anything she can find. And now, whenever she gets a snack or finds a book, she goes and sits on our little bench in the kitchen. It's adorable!
